External App Shortcut
It would be good if users could add a shortcut to another external app on the map screen. I have a Reversing Camera app which I occasionally need to open if parking in a difficult space, so being able to open this quickly from the map screen would be EXTREMELY useful!

lez
I bought a second hand car that’s not allowed in most Low Emission Zones. Is it possible to DISABLE going through LEZ, not even suggesting those routes?
In addition to that, would it be possible to give an alternative (as we call “randparkeren”): find a parking garage outside the LEZ and use public transport to access the LEZ?1 vote -
Option to turn off automatic restarting of route
How can I stop the app from automatically routing me from my current location to somewhere else that I am looking at for future reference?!? Trying to use the app with SpotHero to find parking in Philly where I will be moving to soon and keep getting routed from my current location to Philly 😭

Re-attempt to connect to mobile/wifi signal after starting on offline map
When a car is parked in underground carpark with no mobile phone signal, Waze will use the offline map with no traffic information However it does not re-attempt to connect to mobile signal/wifi after a minute or two when the car is out in open air, and it continues the whole journal on offline map. Please enable a function to re-try connecting to phone signal via CarPlay

Many streets closed and a few incorrect around Mercedes-Benz’s arena on game days
List streets as closed or unavailable on game days. 3 events in Atlanta this past Sunday afternoon, waze app was insisting I could go down closed streets, one street goes directly into a parking deck, not a thru street as listed, app would recalculate and take me to another closed street. After 3 different routes, I had to close waze app and wing it.

Bug
Is there a way to use motion settings or gps to recenter my location. Every time I’m driving with no distinction it loses connection and thinks I parked. I have to manually take my eyes off the road and finger the arrow on the bottom left side to recenter me. If only there was a way to know that I’m driving 🤔

♿ Disabled Driver option
At the moment, there is nothing in Waze to help Disabled drivers when it comes to roads that are restricted to disabled drivers, car parks for disabled people, or tolls that are have different charges for disabled drivers. This causes wrong information such as toll costs and wrong directions to be returned. There is only limited POI information (wheelchair accessible) which only displays as text when you select a POI rather than be searchable and selectable.

At Destination - Map Display Bug ?
When i reach a chosen "destination", the map display "shoots" off to a random location several miles away then sometimes asks me if I am stuck in traffic. Every single time. Is this not a bug?
Would it not be beneficial to keep the routing active and map accurate in case one has to circle for parking, to pickup / discharge passengers or if the actual address & location map is not exactly accurate?

Problem with newest update
Hello.
I would like to give some feedback regarding latest Android auto update:
New ui is worse than old one. First way old speedometer worked was better (it was smaller and it only showed speed limit when going above the limit (and showed points around the circle as you approached speed limit). That was much better than current one.
Second thing is that new Drive now feature and other text messages on app are too big and take up too much screen from the map.
Also, forcing dark mode for messages is not a great ux choice since it can…1 vote -
Allow manual location selection on map for reports
allow users to manually select a road or location to make reports. currently, reports can only be made based on GPS location. but sometimes as drivers we are unable to report hazards or road blockage while driving and can only do so after we’re parked. by adding this feature, we can increase safety of road users as well as drivers who wish to make a report without doing so while driving

Bad directions in Iowa
Used Waze to travel to the Paramount Theater in Cedar Rapids Iowa. The directions were NOT SUFFICIENT. We drove around looking for the venue for about 15 minutes before we gave up on Waze and just parked the vehicle and walked. I know this is not the correct place to report this problem, but the reporting methods suggested in "Fix a Map Issue" were not working. I guess I'm just too retarded to use Waze.

Expand "arrival boundaries"
If you're at or within 100 feet/30 meters of a destination, consider navigation complete and stop routing. Many times Waze will remain active, showing I am 100 feet or less from a destination, and will frantically re-route (or at least attempt to). In my experience from Waze, this is most common in shopping centers or business campuses/parks, though it happens sometimes at single building destinations, such as a standalone restaurant or even at my home. Waze shouldn't feel a need to provide door-to-door directions.

Keep Navigation Active After Arrival
I would like to suggest a feature that allows users to keep navigation active even after reaching the destination. In many situations, especially when it is difficult to find parking, drivers need to circle the surrounding area. When Waze automatically ends navigation upon arrival, it becomes harder to maintain orientation and understand nearby traffic conditions. Allowing navigation to remain active until the user chooses to stop it would provide better spatial awareness, improve safety, and offer a more flexible experience in real-world scenarios.

"open data"
there are multiple open data feeds for cities, Like for Toronto:

Hello Waze team,
I faced an issue recently while using the app in Najaf, Iraq. I was very close to my destination (car showrooms), but the app gave me a long and unnecessary route, even though I was already facing the right direction and there was no traffic. My car was parked on the side of the road.
I suggest adding a "Walking Mode" for short distances, so users can reach nearby destinations more efficiently without being redirected through long driving routes.
Thank you for your great work!
Best regards,

a New Yellow Vest Pin for France
Hello Waze;)
I'm sorry to write to you on Saturday.
Today, truckers are starting to block borders and, in general, we do not know where they are parked, to go and support them.
You can make available yellow vests, a new logo additional, yellow vest, for use by truckers.
If a truck driver wishes to extend his stop on a parking lot, for example, he could then put a yellow vest tag at the place where he is parked and yellow vests could support him in his stop, without the employer of this driver can revoke his…1 voteThanks for your feedback.

Stop prompting users to confirm that a 'stopped car' for instance is still there. This is a safety hazard while driving
Stop prompting users to confirm a road hazard (parked car side of the road for example, not exactly critical or urgent to any users - this is done for Waze' interests, in order to collect data at your clients expense)
I drive by myself. Interacting with the console touch screen to remove the obstruction is a safety hazard. As is the obstruction itself in the GUI. Ongoing source of frustration for years (a decade? Longtime user)
You tell users to be safe, not interact while driving. But your system forces users to interact while driving. This needs attention…

Highway exits details
On my current MB the navi is showing list of next 3 exits on the highway with all the most needed details, for example next exit is 3 km away and its exit to city/another road, another exit is 8 km away , which is a petrol station with restaurant , 3rd exit is 19 km away and it’s just a parking with toilet. … in case I am low on fuel or somebody from crew need urgent *** rest , really easy to find out where to stop , once the closest exit is passed, it loads another…

Terrible GUI
Worse and worse GUI. Do you realize it is a car navigation? Did any of your programmers ever drive a car?
Smaller and smaller buttons or even worse - swipes!
Nothing on first click. Hidden in submenus - swipe, click and maybe it is there.
Switching between itinerary and map when searching for alternative routes? The buttons aren’t small. They are tiny! Hard to be used when the car is parked, with reading glasses, fully focused on phone.First versions were made by drivers for drivers. Report issues in opposite direction-removed. Now it is moving to google style swipe…
